Yasel Porto, a Cuban sports journalist, recently traveled to Cuba with the intention of visiting his grandmother’s grave at Colón Cemetery in Havana. What he found there surprised him because of the severe neglect and disrepair in the island’s most famous cemetery.

Upon his arrival, Porto was shocked to discover that the mausoleum where his grandmother was buried was in a terrible state. The door was slightly ajar and the interior showed clear signs of vandalism, as he shared in a post on his Facebook page, DPorto Sports LLC.

Porto, currently living in the United States, expressed frustration at being unable to confirm whether his grandmother’s remains were still there, citing a lack of security and necessary permits to access the site.

During his visit, he also witnessed widespread neglect in other parts of the cemetery, such as the section dedicated to professional baseball players. In particular, plaques and bronze ornaments honoring figures such as Andrés Ayón Brown, a Cuban baseball icon, were missing.

The Porto report revealed even more serious problems, including open graves, exposed bones littering the streets and a pervasive stench throughout the area.

These types of complaints are becoming increasingly common, but the Cuban regime consistently blames the situation on a lack of resources, the exodus of skilled workers due to low wages, and systemic indifference.
